Patents, trademarks & copyright are instruments of the law which seek to protect original ideas, designs, inventions and creative material.
They exist in order to encourage enterprise and invention, by legally protecting the creative work of others.
This ranges from technology experts who want to patent the next big thing in smart technology to fashion designers wanting to protect their brand by trademark registration, to musicians, song writers or composers, who want to protect their musical material from people using it without paying royalties.
It applies to photographers too. Professional photographers can generate hundreds and thousands of pounds from a photograph Depending Upon The Person, Subject, or Object And The Demand For That Person, Subject or Object.
The paparazzi are infamous for taking invasive celebrity shots and then seeking to sell them to the highest bidder around the world.
The advancement of smartphone technology means that the ordinary person in the street increasingly have cause to complain about the mis-use of photographs and image rights. The widespread availability and use of smartphones means that anyone can photograph anyone else Involved In Different Scenarios, from the smallest disagreements to deadly disturbances.
In addition, a new digital age crime has developed known as “revenge porn”. It involves the distribution of private photos when former lovers break up acrimoniously. It can cause devastating upset, harm and heartbreak.
Possibly The Biggest Irony In The Law of Photography Is That Legally It Is The Photograher Who Owns The Copyright – Not The Person, Object or Subject In The Photograph!
